TMZ is reporting that Mariah Yeater, the woman who accused Justin Bieber of fathering her four-month-old son Tristyn, has quietly dropped her lawsuit against the Canadian pop star.

Yeater, along with her lawyers Lance Rogers and Matt Pare, hoped that by dismissing the paternity suit they would be spared by Bieber's attorney Howard Weitzman and his threat of a counter-lawsuit for filing a malicious claim, but Weitzman plans on going forward with the lawsuit seem unavoidable.
